Flavor-packed blackened shrimp salad grain bowl with shrimp, brown rice, corn, bell pepper, black beans, and avocado for a satisfying low-calorie meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1.125 cups water
  • 0.5 cup dirty rice mix (such as Zatarain's® Dirty Brown Rice)
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1.5 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 avocado
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt (such as Chobani®)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, bring water and dirty rice mix to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until water is absorbed, approximately 45 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Mix shrimp with a blend of chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper while rice is cooking.
  • In a sizzling cast iron skillet, sear shrimp in hot oil until fully cooked and beautifully pink on both sides, approximately 2 minutes each.
  • Combine fresh corn, vibrant red bell pepper, fragrant cilantro, tangy lime juice, and flavorful olive oil in a bowl to create a delicious corn salad.
  • In a food processor, blend together avocado, cilantro, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until a smooth dressing is achieved.
  • Create delicious bowls by evenly portioning cooked rice, cooked shrimp, corn salad, black beans, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with dressing, then top off with lime wedges for a burst of flavor.
